Magnesium has a charge of +2 and Chloride has a charge of -1. In order to make magnesium chloride have a net charge of zero, there must be twice as much of the chloride ion than the magnesium ion. The ratio of magnesium to chloride is therefore 1:2. With this knowledge, we can write the chemical equation MgCl2.
Salt disassociates in water because hydrogen molecules are slightly positive charge and pulls away the chloride ions (a negative charge ion) and the oxygen molecules are slightly negative charge and will attract the sodium ions (a positive charge ion) dissolving the sodium chloride into the water.
The sodium ion is Na+; the chloride ion is Cl-. The chemical formula of sodium chloride is NaCl.
KCl, K is potassium which has a +1 charge and Cl is Chloride which has a -1 unless by itself because it is a diatomic but in this formula it remains a -1 charge.
These substances are called electrolytes and contain sodium, chloride, bicarbonate and potassium.
The salt lithium chloride is LiCl. It's an Li+ ion and a Cl- ion.
AlCl3
Your telling me!
Ammonium Chloride is most obviously made of Ammonium and Chloride. Now let me REALLY explain it. Since NH4+ has a charge of +1 And Cl has a charge of -1 Ammonium Chloride's chemical notation is NH4Cl.
Magnesium has a charge of +2 and Chloride has a charge of -1. In order to make magnesium chloride have a net charge of zero, there must be twice as much of the chloride ion than the magnesium ion. The ratio of magnesium to chloride is therefore 1:2. With this knowledge, we can write the chemical equation MgCl2.
Solute molecules can be positively charged, negatively charged, or neutral. For example, dissolving sodium chloride in water produces positively charged sodium cations and negatively charged chloride anions. Dissolving sucrose (table sugar) in water produces only dissolved neutral sucrose molecules.
Salt disassociates in water because hydrogen molecules are slightly positive charge and pulls away the chloride ions (a negative charge ion) and the oxygen molecules are slightly negative charge and will attract the sodium ions (a positive charge ion) dissolving the sodium chloride into the water.
Calcium + Chlorine --> Calcium Chloride Ca + Cl --> CaCl Balanced Equation: Ca + Cl2 --> CaCl2 Calcium has a 2+ charge, while chlorine has a 1- charge. Therefore you need two chlorine ions to balance the charges.
Electrical charge is an electrical phenomenon.
ZnCl2. Zinc has a positive 2 charge and chloride has a negative 1 charge. You balance the charges of zinc and chloride and you get ZnCl2
Ba^(2+) + 2Cl^(-) = BaCl2 Notice, the barium ion hs a charge of '2+' . This must be balanced by a charge of '2-' . This is done by having 2 chloride ions 'Cl^- & Cl^- ..Hence (2Cl^-). BaCl2 is barium chloride. It is an ionic crystalline solid at STP.
The sodium ion is Na+; the chloride ion is Cl-. The chemical formula of sodium chloride is NaCl.
